Taming & KO Tips

How do I tame a giganotosaurus? Tips and strategies on taming and knocking out a giganotosaurus.
They are actually easy to taim. I did some math and figured out I can knock it out with 13 shots from my mastercraft longneck rifle with tranq darts and you only need about 150 narcotics(when using prime meat) which is easy to get and only 13 prime meat without a soothing balm(only on mobile).
Very easy beginners tame, did kibble in last slot or prime meat. Go up to it and feed it. I got mine my first day of ark and love him.
I don't wanna tame one because im scared of rage and it killing my spino and stuff.
These guys are passive tames you just need some basic kibble and bug repellent and then sneak up on them with every single cryopod you own or it won’t work.
DONT try IT WILL KICK HOUR ASS AND you lose all you tames UnU
Haven't seen it mentioned so sorry if I missed it, but these guys lose food super fast. Keep an eye on your food levels and troughs with these guys around. Cryo pods will stop their hunger so they don't starve rage in your base on accident.
The hardest part about taming this monster was luring it into our trap. He wasn't interested in us as bait, so here is how we had to do it: get on your argentavis and pick up a tasty helpless creature like a megaloceros or a phoiomia. The giga will chase this creature for far longer than he will chase you or your tames. Have a friend on another argentavis ready to pick up aggro with another wild dino when yours inevitably gets chomped. Oh, and try not to die in the process. Good luck!
First tame tapajera next go to snow biome and bring rifle with darts lure the giga over a mountain use your tapajera to lan on mountain and start shooting and let your tribe mates do the rest
Put 1 large bear trap 1 dino gate in front of it then it will take 1 tranqu 1 raw meat for lvl 200 or less easier than a dodo try it yourself☺ then you got a giga easy
Its harder then you may think if your trying to lure it into a trap but it cant bite you it will run away but your pretty much dead if your to close to the ground. Be prepared. I just tamed one and its not easy.
R.I.P RoadRunner my gallimnus I was running around and found one of these gigas and I ran past it. It chased me but I was faster then my stamina ran out... luckily I some how managed to survive
Do the large bear trap and 4 metal gate strategy but whatever you do don't go on a cliff for I have seen one climb up to me but I did get away on my Argentina so that's a good thing (ps it will one shot you tek gear or not)
I had the luckiest Giga tame ever. Of course we come looking to tame an Ovis. That’s when we spot a Giga. It just sat there as we shot it with crossbows. Easy Tame!! And on our way back we came across a male and female Ovis. Lucky Day.
I personally think that on the island you need to lure it to the beach and trap in the metal Dino gateway and large bear trap, trap because in the mountains at my level (69) rexes are a problem to me so your best bet to tame use the dinosaur gateway bear trap, trap and make it on the beach (if the mountain is close to a beach)
Dont think to tame this when you're in low level
To only use 1 cooked fish meat your taming speed has to be at 449! Yes I did check no I didn't add an extra 4
Hey guys im calvin snd I would like to share with you a tip that has worked for me in successfully tsmig this beast.
All you need is
3 dinosaur gateway
One large bear trap
Atleast 100 plus tranqs
All u do is lure t into the trap and shoot
I highly recommend saving amber as you can get soothing balm which speeds the process
Take prime meat no raw meat but if you only have raw meat use with narcotics and soothing balm
Hoped this helped
Don't try to tame a lvl 100 solo, especially not on extinction.
I tried but had to defend the trap against Corrupted wasted over 500 tranq bullets on it...
Step 1. Find gigantosaurus
Step 2. Lead to enemy base
Step 3. Watch carnage with a beer (and escape dinosaur)
Step 4. Watch out for very angry tribes
Its totality nice just give it a hug trust me. No seriously trust me
